We regret to advise in view of the widespread and severe outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease across the country and the stringent controls introduced by the authorities to try and curb the consequences of the disease, Round One of the SA Rally-Raid Championship scheduled to take place in the Stella area of the North West Province on 6 & 7 March has been postponed.
We have looked at all the possibilities of shuffling events to avoid rescheduling of the opening round, however, due to the current status of this Epidemic it is not possible.
We will continue to work with the Land and Property owners across the sphere of our championship destinations and will communicate the revised 2026 calendar of events at the earliest opportunity.
Like you, we are most disappointed, however, the situation is out of our control
